In the living room the couches were pushed off to the side, along with the coffee table and other end tables. The carpets were rolled up and replaced with dirty old sheets. Resting on those sheets were two canvas rested on easels and on a TV tray in between the two wooden stands were various different art supplies. Bottles of paint, two pallets and two mason jars filled with fresh water. Sun was leaking into the room, and a fresh breeze from the open windows. It was a bit too chilly to be outside to paint today but that wouldn't stop Date Night at all.
Max was just wrapping their waist-apron to their body and taking a gander at the canvas they decided on taking over. He was sort of lost in his own thoughts while he waited for someone.
"Are you cheating already?" The second voiced teasingly.
"I- how the hell do you cheat at painting, Luca?"
Luca just shrugged, giving a blank face stare. Max stared back but it didn't take him long to break into a grin and avert his gaze back to the canvas. He had no idea what he'd paint, he's- in all honesty just staring at the canvas head empty style. Eventually he'd pick up a brush and his pallet, holding both in one hand as he loaded up his pallet with pigment. Luca would follow suit.
"I assume I don't have to explain how Acrylic painting works," Max glanced over to Luca to see him already going at the canvas. He gave a small 'aight then' with a chuckle but went on to mix a few of the pigments he had on the pallet to make a darker blue.
"If course I know how it works i'm the--"
"No."
"No?"
"You heard me."
Luca grinned, soon muttering "Yeah 'cause I'm the smartest man in the world"
Max's eyes rolled and flicked paint at the taller male, giggling to himself. Luca looked down at where the paint landed, huffing in his joking offense. He had no other choice but to retaliate, taking his brush and scraping paint up onto it just to glob it across Max's cheek.
"hEyY-"
"What? Payback."
Max opened his mouth to speak but admitted his defeat silently-- for only a moment though. He set his pallet down and dipped a paper towel in the on-hand water to wipe the paint off his cheek. He watched what his lover was starting off with, deciding he'd lay low on the future attack. Give him paint, or markers, it will end up on himself and or other people, it's inevitable. Time went on, casual banter and the shorter males' rather terrible version of dancing to music filled the silence.
Max's painting was turning into an ocean setting, turquoise water crashing against rocks, lined with a blue horizon. Lucas painting would turn out to be focused upon a single tree in a field. The starts of a tire swing hanging from one branch, darker weighted lines putting emphasis on the grooves of the bark. Max would examine Luca's painting, glancing at his own pallet and thinking of what color he could choose- which he opted for a darker blue. He picked up a thin bristled brush and coated the tip in blue paint, planting a small dot right on his canvas. Of course it was where blue already was because he didn't want to entirely ruin a perfectly good piece.
Luca stared at the dot for a moment but only for a moment. He would immediately smear his brush across Max's canvas. Max then smeared paint on his arm, it would go back and forth for a minute or two before Luca set his items down and hoisted the smaller man off his feet and plopping him on his back against the cushions of the couch. Max's eyes widened and his face almost immediately went a shade of red. His body remained stiff from underneath Luca, his heart already pounding. Despite all that, Max wormed one arm free from his side and booped the other's nose..leaving a dot of white. He grinned at his accomplishment but it was short lived. Luca grabbed Max's wrists and held them down against his lap.
